Tweets - we had an unexpectedly good day at Marymoor last Thursday. It was
overcast, but we didn't suffer from fog nor precipitation. Fall is
definitely here, though we did find one good flock, just south of the Dog
Area, of hangers-on from summer.

Highlights:

American Wigeon First of fall
Northern Harrier Several looks
Barn Owl Early over the East Meadow
Western Wood-Pewee One at the Rowing Club
Warbling Vireo One with "the flock"
Orange-crowned Warbler One with "the flock"
Yellow Warbler One with "the flock"
Yellow-rumped Warbler About 5 with "the flock"
Black-throated Gray " One with "the flock"
American Pipit About 15 in grass soccer field lot
Fox Sparrow One gave us great looks

We had a 5 woodpecker day (the expected 5: RBSA, DOWO, HAWO, NOFL, PIWO),
though the Hairy was barely seen, and the Pileated was heard to the west of
the park.

And we had the 8 expected sparrows - Towhee, Savannah, Fox, Song, Lincoln's,
White-crowned, Golden-crowned, and Junco.
